Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones. We've all seen the stickers that read, “be kind rewind.” What we may not have realized is that rewinding is a simple first step to ensuring the health of our collections. Keeping tapes rewound and properly stored creates the optimal situation for long-term preservation.
Once tapes are properly stored, routine tape cleaning and inspection will extend their life considerably. Iron Mountain provides comprehensive videotape maintenance that includes inspection, exercising and cleaning services.
Iron Mountain’s Videotape Cleaning and Inspection offers expert maintenance of your valuable collections. That means not only using the best practices to maintain your assets, but also knowing when properly stored tape that is in good condition does not need exercising.
Generally, tape cleaning and inspection should occur every three to five years. Our team will evaluate your unique needs and determine the schedule and services that are ideal for you.
